Smart Start Partnerships in Your Community

In 1993, The North Carolina Partnership for Children, Inc. was created to lead Smart Start. Today, 77 partnerships use public and private funds to serve all 100 counties.

Each partnership is an independent, nonprofit organization. To understand how the county’s children are faring, local partnerships use independent data from state and federal sources to assess child-well being. This snapshot identifies in which areas the county’s children are doing well and in which areas attention is needed. Partnerships then use this information to bring together families, teachers, doctors, dentists, libraries, schools, and many others to better meet children’s needs. As a result, each partnership offers different Smart Start programs and services, depending on local needs.

Hover your mouse over your county for the contact information of your local Smart Start partnership. Clicking will take you to their website (if they have one).
